So there you have it, another season is over. It seems like yesterday that I sat and wrote about how horribly boring the 2010 season looked like it could be, as I penned my thoughts on the opening race in Bahrain.

But what a season it turned out to be, and one that I am now anxious will never be rivaled. It literally had it all—foul play, accidents, moments of genius and moments of utter disaster.

But what about the new world champion? Did he deserve it? Or was it possibly another lucky win?

I think it would be scandalous to take it away from Sebby Vettel in any way, shape or form. It's easy to say 'but what if the Renaults hadn't held up Alonso' or 'what if Liuzzi hadn't ended up on top of Schumacher forcing the safety car'?  The simple reality is, that's motor racing.

One thing that definitely needs discussion are the gestures issued to Petrov by Alonso after the chequered flag. Petrov drove a superb race and certainly defended his right to his drive at Renault next term. But why can't Alonso take defeat gracefully? Understandably he's just been robbed of the title, and none of us can relate to what that feels like, but had he shown a bit more charm during this season, he might have far more support behind him. 

You can easily argue that things could have turned out very differently if certain incidents hadn't taken place. And this is the brilliance of Formula 1. 

For example, had Jenson not had his exhaust bungs left in Monaco, or had he not been taken out by Vettel later in the season, he would very much have still been in the title hunt up to today, and may have even been able to retain his ti...
